| Abstract |
The allosteric phosphofructokinase from Escherichia coli has been renatured after complete unfolding in concentrated guanidine hydrochloride. The enzyme regains both its catalytic and regulatory abilities quantitatively. The kinetics of reactivation are biphasic and are consistent with a two-step mechanism in which a monomolecular reaction precedes a bimolecular one. The presence of ATP during reactivation increases the rate at which phosphofructokinase is renatured; the second order rate constant of the bimolecular step increases from about 10(4) M-1 S-1 in the absence of ATP to about 2 X 10(5) M-1 S-1 in the presence of 1 mM ATP. The other ligands of the enzyme have no effect on reactivation. It is tentatively proposed that a folded monomer is the intermediate species which already possesses a functional ATP-binding site and that the rate-limiting association step is the formation of dimeric species. This interpretation is compatible with the known three-dimensional structure of another bacterial phosphofructokinase, that from Bacillus stearothermophilus. |
